About this listen

 The book "Mind Cycles: Motorcycles, Medicine, and Memory" explores the journey of a doctor who decides to learn how to ride a motorcycle, using this experience as a metaphor for personal growth and exploration. The narrative covers a range of topics, including the acquisition of new skills, the relationship between risk-taking and personal insights, and the exploration of various landscapes and human behaviors. The book delves into the author's personal history, importance of camaraderie, and the physics involved in motorcycling.

Key experiences include participating in the Sturgis Black Hills motorcycle rally, visits to National Parks and Monuments, and a high school reunion. The author recounts explorations of the American West, such as Wyoming’s sagebrush country, Colorado backcountry, and plains of the Nebraska panhandle (and a machine shop constructing dreams). He reflects on broader themes like the biological roots of adventure and risk-taking, connecting these traits to our ancestors. While the author primarily rides BMWs, other motorcycles, particularly a Harley-Davidson Classic, also make guest appearances. A horse wreck in the Utah desert subs in four wheels for two.

This exploration highlights how learning a new skill can lead to unexpected personal discoveries and deepen one's understanding of the world.
